You're talking to people here who don't hold mathematics or economics as hobbies, but as careers. You're misconstruing different aspects of the paper, first and foremost, and second you're complaining about a problem and then going "since we can't be perfect we might as well not try." It's asinine to take any study as a proper representation of what it's trying to measure. The aim is to estimate a range. We can be fairly sure that a nonzero amount of republicans favor not having am election in 2020, and that's what the discuss here was revolving around before you brought your pseudo intellectual "devil's advocate" bullshit in. No one said that zero Republicans hold that belief. The study said 52% and Corrik said that 20% would seem very high to him. That was the frame of the debate. You are also misconstruing my posts if you think that I said that we should not even try. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:884531679] in Politics C...
